Obsessed with certain object

Ok, my son is 22 months... He needs to have his two tools with him wherever we go.. His tools are an un sharpened contstruction pencil and a fake screw driver. He has to have them wherever we go and even in the house.. As if a security blanket. Any others have toddlers obsessed with a certain item?.

For my 21 month son, the object changes depending on the activity, but he always has something in his hand (rotates between about five objects including a small ball, a circle from those shape sorters, finger puppet, a car, and a book). He won't go to bed at night if he doesn't have his elephant book in bed with him.

One of my boys is just like pp, changes which toy, but always has one of his favorites. He just turned two and has been doing this since about 14 months. One advantage is that these items make for good motivators when you need cooperation.

Sean's mom, u gave me a good laugh about he mittens... That is sweet. I would never give strange looks to your baby!. And for everyone else, thanks for the replys. For a minute there I found it kinda weird tht my son needed his tools wherever he went.. He knows when we run errands in the morning to go get his tools... And if they are somewhere I can't find, he knows exactly where he left them.. But he always has something in his hands. If its not his tools, he will carry around food, pencil, pens, whatever!. It's cute...
